Hi Brendan
While I don't want to derail this epic thread unnecessarily, I wonder would the two sons in your original example not be better off topping up their mother's income to pay the nursing home fees in order to keep her out of the FD scheme entirely?
As I understand it they would get tax relief on the fees and it would preserve the full value of their expected inheritance.
